Ok so i connected it to the yellow plug power cycled it. Still is saying looking for GPS and no XM signal contact dealer. This is weird i wonder if my U. Connect is taking a dump.

It looks like that plug was repaired in the past. It's possible that the plug itself (on the truck side) is bad and needs replacing. If it worked before disconnect, i'd put my money there...I had to replace mine after multiple disconnects too.

I realize yours is not a RAM, but I say it looks like it was replaced/repaired before because that particular color blue is the neutral key (which will fit on any of those plugs). It's possible it came from the factory that way though.
Im assuming it came from factory that way i bought it brand new. I haven't ever had that cable replaced.

That said, my factory plug is what broke on mine when I had the same problem.

Also, does anyone have the latest firmware version numbers available for both the UAQ and the UCQ systems?

Ok guys some how I ended up with a later model 2019 uaq radio that I thought would work in a 4th gen but the radio and the module came in two separate pieces . Anyone know if there is a way to make this work in my 4th gen ?

Sounds like you've got a 5th gen 2019 radio (known working Ram PNs are in the OP to avoid issues) ...

Backup camera definitely won't work, and it doesn't use the same Pinout for the airbag deployment signal notification. There's also a setting I believe is not available to AlfaOBD on 4th gen Ram to tell it the display is seperate from the control unit.

It's probably not impossible, but not likely at the moment.

What about this one ? Doesn’t match your part numbers exactly

The part numbers match, it's just a newer revision from the OP (AH vs AI). Mine is an AK and I believe that is the latest.

@SitKneelBend and @Jordanp looks like possibly the white and mustard colored antenna/gps connectors are damaged/missing on the radio in the picture.

Yep, but you can get Pigtail extensions that will work well.
